About Gaither Smith, MSN, CNM

Gaither Smith, MSN, CNM is elated to join the incredible group of doctors at Capital Women's Care in Arlington and McLean, Virginia as the group's first certified nurse-midwife (CNM). CNMs are advanced practice nurses who provide care during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. They also offer annual well-woman check-ups, contraception, menopausal care, and treatment for common infections and health problems.

In December 2015, Gaither completed her nursing and nurse-midwifery training at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing in Nashville, Tennessee and graduated with a Master of Science in Nursing. She earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.

Gaither is passionate about providing women and their families with empowering, safe, evidence-based care at all stages of their life. She and partner Eric are looking forward to moving from Colorado to Northern Virginia to be closer to their family and enjoy all that the DC Metro area has to offer.

In her free time, this CNM loves spending time outside and being active, especially running, hiking, yoga, and swimming. Gaither’s currently training for the Richmond Marathon with the hope of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. She also loves cooking, reading, and exploring new places whenever she and Eric can find time to travel. She very much looks forward to meeting you soon!
